Telemarketing Should Be Illegal

I can't imagine telemarketing actually working. I've never met someone that's said, "Yeah I got a phone call for a new long distance plan and it worked out great!" Normally anytime, anyone talks about getting a phone call it's more along the lines of "I was right in the middle of something important, and had to stop to pick up the phone." Sometimes there are a few expletives thrown in for good measure.

It just seems that they have a nak for calling at the worst possible times. For me it's usually at like 11 or noon. I'm usually sleeping and then I get a call for something I have absolutely no need for, and then because I had gotten just enough sleep, I have the worst time trying to fall back to sleep, it's horrible. The only thing that gets me more annoyed when I get woken up by them, is if it's automated in spanish. Oh man that gets my goat.

I think we get bombarded with enough advertisements on tv, the radio, in the mail, and on billboards, that we shouldn't have to be subjected to it over the phone. I mean come on really, the point that I know its a telemarketer is the point where my brain has shut off and I'm just waiting for a pause so I can either; just say no, hang up, or chew them out (depending on my mood, and how tired I really am).

Let's call them at their busiest, and waste their time and see how they like it!
